Garmin eTrex GPS- A Real Winner
Garmin eTrex GPS- A Real Winner
If you've had the misfortune of being lost, especially in the dark, and
left ya trusty compass at home- which would be useless in the middle of
the night as you cant 'see' any real landmarks anyway, then cheer up.
Technology to the rescue...again :) I've had the pleasure to review the
Garmin eTrex GPS, another nice addition to the Garmin range of personal
navigation devices, no longer just for the yuppies but within everyones
price range.
For those who are adventure seekers, the Garmin eTrex GPS is one of their
smaller compact units that will accurately guide you to your destination
and back home. Amazingly, the Garmin eTrex GPS which is indeed a small
wonder gets the wonderful highlights of a 12 proportioned channel GPS
receiver that can be placed into a small pouch that is about four by two
inches wide. And as such, the Garmin eTrex GPS sits comfortably in your
palm and is not as bulky feeling as some other Garmin's reviewed.
Besides the Garmin eTrex GPS's cute size, the receiver will continuously
track your route and does this accurately by using up to 12 satellites to
triangulate your position. The Garmin eTrex GPS also has a catchy design
and conviniently has it's buttons to the side for easy reach and seems to
be common benefit with the Garmin GPS series recievers. My only grip is
the LCD screen could be a little larger but that's nit picking at it's
best.
Another feature which turns out to be a great benefit is that it's a
waterproof unit so if it's accidentally immersion in water,or drops out
of your pocket into the river, will still perform its operations. Great!
With the Garmin eTrex GPS translucent yellow case it will not be likely
to be misplaced and if this does happens you don't need to worry because
the Garmin eTrex GPS's bright yellow case will help you find it so easy
in any boat or backpack.It'll stickout like a sore thumb in the night.
The Garmin eTrex GPS is definately a user friendly GPS able to store up
to 500 user waypoints with accompanied graphical icons.This means you'll
never loose that favourite fishing/camping spot (unless you leave the
Garmin eTrex GPS at home). The Garmin eTrex GPS can reverse back through
your waypoints which is a great feature. The tracking log in the Garmin
eTrex GPS unit will be viewed strung together on the map page of the
Garmin eTrex GPS unit so you can definitely locate and find where you
have been. And last but not least, the Garmin eTrex GPS has cool animated
graphics and large easily viewable icons that will let you recognize your
marked waypoints speedily and without hassles. Another thumbs up from
this biased trekker and recommend it for sure.
